WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:02.060 you 00:30.000 --> 00:32.060 you 01:00.000 --> 01:02.060 you 01:30.000 --> 01:32.060 you 02:00.000 --> 02:02.060 you 02:30.000 --> 02:32.060 you 03:00.000 --> 03:02.060 you 03:30.000 --> 03:32.060 you 04:00.000 --> 04:02.060 you 05:00.000 --> 05:02.000 I 07:00.000 --> 07:27.100 Welcome back to the APL. 07:27.100 --> 07:32.580 We are deep into the grand final here of the Oceanic region with a spot of ESLC Major up 07:32.580 --> 07:33.580 for Grabs. 07:33.580 --> 07:38.100 Penguin, we've had a few moments of reprieve, but we are about to get back into it. 07:38.100 --> 07:40.540 She's an enterprise going head to head. 07:40.540 --> 07:45.500 And we can see here the score line is as it currently stands, Enterprise taking their 07:45.500 --> 07:47.420 tactical timeout leading by one round. 07:47.420 --> 07:52.580 Now they won two rounds ago, Penguin, but then they just lost the round prior on their 07:52.580 --> 07:53.660 attacking side. 07:53.660 --> 07:56.740 So Chiefs might be able to push and make a comeback happen. 07:56.740 --> 08:00.980 It seems like those tertiary bomb sides, you know, playing downstairs in kitchen has really 08:00.980 --> 08:02.860 worked out for both of these two squads. 08:02.860 --> 08:07.100 Just picking up round after round on defense and the attack struggling against it. 08:07.100 --> 08:09.020 I feel like attack time up makes good sense here. 08:09.020 --> 08:11.620 Just kind of recomposed, figure out what we're going to do going forward, which 08:11.620 --> 08:13.300 is solo final operative bands. 08:13.300 --> 08:17.540 I think it was a soloist and Blackbeard, I'm not sure about the Blackbeard, I'm 08:17.540 --> 08:19.260 pretty sure I saw the soloist. 08:19.260 --> 08:21.980 And of course, if you see those, it's going to change what kind of bombs you 08:21.980 --> 08:23.620 want to play and how you want to play them. 08:23.620 --> 08:27.760 And also call it before we get to overtime scenario before you're done a match point 08:27.760 --> 08:30.960 It makes perfect in the can't truth call it right now before us today 08:32.180 --> 08:33.340 Sure 08:33.340 --> 08:38.500 Again the mini fridge from back and what's he going for another energy drink? I wonder and it's got his serious 08:38.500 --> 08:43.860 I was on today. Yeah, he does and look it's been a a long day for EP 08:43.860 --> 08:48.000 Of course three maps deep, but it's been an even longer day for the chiefs 08:48.160 --> 08:52.500 Let's not forget of course they had to beat man LFO earlier today 08:52.500 --> 08:56.100 just to get to this grand final. 08:56.100 --> 08:57.640 And they've had quite the journey here, 08:57.640 --> 08:59.520 and before that, James, they were fighting 08:59.520 --> 09:03.080 in the lower bracket, playing game after game after game. 09:03.080 --> 09:05.640 And it was not like a quick seven-zero against their opponents. 09:05.640 --> 09:07.320 They went max OT. 09:07.320 --> 09:09.960 They played five maps, and out of those five, 09:09.960 --> 09:11.800 four of them went to overtime. 09:11.800 --> 09:14.400 Two of them went to max overtime. 09:14.400 --> 09:17.440 They have had a ridiculously difficult 09:17.440 --> 09:19.600 and long, like, last two weeks. 09:19.600 --> 09:23.600 I'm going to go back to the 09:23.600 --> 09:25.600 last one. At least there are 09:25.600 --> 09:27.600 some smiles on their dials here 09:27.600 --> 09:29.600 from Cairo. Man, it's been 09:29.600 --> 09:31.600 what a crazy offseason it was 09:31.600 --> 09:32.600 with all of these roster 09:32.600 --> 09:34.600 changes. Globally, there were 09:34.600 --> 09:35.600 so many rumors sown around and 09:35.600 --> 09:36.600 I knew from talking to 09:36.600 --> 09:37.600 enterprise boys. You know, I 09:37.600 --> 09:39.600 knew that fish I was retiring. 09:39.600 --> 09:40.600 I knew that too harm was 09:40.600 --> 09:41.600 looking at stake more of a 09:41.600 --> 09:42.600 leadership role on the team. 09:42.600 --> 09:43.600 I didn't know about the 09:43.600 --> 09:44.600 magnet change, though. That 09:44.600 --> 09:45.600 is one that actually slipped 09:45.600 --> 09:46.600 under my radar. I didn't 09:46.600 --> 09:48.600 know about it until I got 09:48.600 --> 09:53.600 from blast after the roster 09:53.600 --> 09:54.600 lock had occurred. He's been 09:54.600 --> 09:55.600 the X factor for this theme, 09:55.600 --> 09:56.600 but it's funny because as a 09:56.600 --> 09:57.600 coach, we don't really get to 09:57.600 --> 09:59.600 see what his involvement looks 09:59.600 --> 10:00.600 like back in the day. Mag was 10:00.600 --> 10:01.600 known to be a very creative 10:01.600 --> 10:04.600 player. He was always kind of 10:04.600 --> 10:05.600 that that fifth extra player 10:05.600 --> 10:06.600 on fanatic, whereas you had 10:06.600 --> 10:07.600 your clear cut fraggers and 10:07.600 --> 10:09.600 your supports. Mag likes to 10:09.600 --> 10:10.600 play his Valkyries, his 10:10.600 --> 10:11.600 echoes, these kind of 10:11.600 --> 10:13.600 different things and like to 10:13.600 --> 10:14.600 play very adaptable, which is 10:14.600 --> 10:15.600 very much what the meta is 10:15.600 --> 10:17.360 about right now. 10:17.360 --> 10:18.320 Yeah. 10:18.320 --> 10:20.480 Magnet also is one of the only people in the world 10:20.480 --> 10:23.800 to take down T2 back when I was in that roster, in fact. 10:23.800 --> 10:26.760 When I was so, I was peeking at Twitch chat 10:26.760 --> 10:30.960 after a map or a series ended and we spoke about Magnet. 10:30.960 --> 10:31.800 And somebody said, 10:31.800 --> 10:35.760 why is Pingu not talking about Magnet beating him at SI? 10:35.760 --> 10:36.600 And I was like, hold on. 10:36.600 --> 10:38.160 I feel like I talk about it every time. 10:38.160 --> 10:39.500 I see pretty much. 10:39.500 --> 10:42.240 First of all, I was praising Magnet as a player, 10:42.240 --> 10:44.440 you know, excited seeing back as a coach. 10:44.440 --> 10:48.680 love to see it and Twitch was like well maybe you should mention that he actually beat you back 10:48.680 --> 10:55.880 and it's true he did and now that I think about it right the G2 Penta era from 2016 to my retirement 10:55.880 --> 11:04.680 in 2021 of January never lost a game to North America not once we lost a map not a match from 11:04.680 --> 11:10.520 memory could it be true that only Fnatic with magnet ever beat us from A-Pack? I think that's 11:10.520 --> 11:14.200 likely unless if you guys lost to Norango at any point but all the other type of A-Pack 11:14.200 --> 11:16.800 Yeah, I feel like that's probably right 11:18.440 --> 11:20.440 Even with gold 11:23.760 --> 11:29.780 Yeah, look in terms of taking down that G2 team like I'm gonna be honest Pengu like remember you guys got that pity invite to that 11:29.780 --> 11:35.480 It's I was a we should we should have been you were not in peak form at that and at that invite 11:35.680 --> 11:40.700 But yes, you're right obviously fanatic and magnet on that team did knock out G2 11:40.700 --> 11:42.700 They eventually actually fell to BDS. 11:42.700 --> 11:47.700 I was looking at it before, it was the eventual team that knocked out Fnatic. 11:47.700 --> 11:51.700 Other teams surely got other big teams that beat you at these events. 11:51.700 --> 11:55.700 I guess it was mostly the Europeans and the Brazilians. 11:55.700 --> 11:59.700 Brazilians, yeah. Brazilians was the first region to take us down. 11:59.700 --> 12:02.700 Obviously, I don't know the answer. 12:02.700 --> 12:04.700 No, that's what Lixity, what am I talking about? 12:04.700 --> 12:08.700 What's it called? Euro 2 Season 3 in America? 12:08.700 --> 12:25.700 Atlantic City was the first time we lost to Brazil and we lost afterwards as well but that was one of the big ones. 12:25.700 --> 12:34.740 I'm looking back on uh so you you won season one uh you guys beat sisu as pensa 12:35.620 --> 12:42.420 you won school year two season one uh finals you beat black dragons in the final year two 12:42.420 --> 12:49.620 season two you lost to ens who eventually won that was the salpalo events uh yeah i mean i've 12:49.620 --> 12:58.860 I've got you guys losing to just Black Dragons and Ents here, and Liquid, and Empire sometimes. 12:58.860 --> 13:03.060 Yeah, Empire 20, and Raleigh made sure we lost to Empire. 13:03.060 --> 13:07.020 Raleigh you guys played something called the Six Cup 2018 and lost to Millennium? 13:07.020 --> 13:08.940 Does that sound familiar? 13:08.940 --> 13:10.460 Is there some French tournament maybe? 13:10.460 --> 13:15.060 Probably some Meet Me Tier 2, Tier 3 thing that we were forced to play. 13:15.060 --> 13:16.260 I don't think that was... 13:16.260 --> 13:21.380 So back in the day, you were actually forced to play in national leagues. 13:21.380 --> 13:23.980 So like we played for Pentagey 2, we're a German organization. 13:23.980 --> 13:29.860 We had to play in the tier 2 German league, which is like way beneath any tier 1 level skill, obviously. 13:29.860 --> 13:33.900 But it was good for explosion advertising, and we wouldn't take those games very seriously. 13:33.900 --> 13:39.660 In fact, we had both Kanto and Uno, I think, or some other player oversleep one day 13:39.660 --> 13:43.140 and play with our manager and our coach and got smacked on our guy. 13:43.140 --> 13:49.300 We've had some losses like that for sure and that's why they got kicked 13:55.380 --> 13:57.380 Bag of the server 13:59.140 --> 14:01.380 That that's why brindle be gone next season body 14:02.740 --> 14:04.740 We'll find someone who can body 14:05.300 --> 14:07.460 No, no, brindle's too good. You can't kick the goat 14:07.460 --> 14:09.460 I mean, enterprise certainly 14:09.460 --> 14:10.460 need to kick into gear right 14:10.460 --> 14:12.460 now because it has been a long 14:12.460 --> 14:14.460 and arduous day for both teams, 14:14.460 --> 14:15.460 particularly the chiefs haven't 14:15.460 --> 14:16.460 played that the low bracket 14:16.460 --> 14:17.460 final prior to this, but 14:17.460 --> 14:18.460 especially with all of the 14:18.460 --> 14:19.460 technical delays we've just 14:19.460 --> 14:20.460 experienced that most recent 14:20.460 --> 14:21.460 technical delay by the way, 14:21.460 --> 14:23.460 guys, was a player dropping out. 14:23.460 --> 14:24.460 So now we've got 10 different 14:24.460 --> 14:25.460 players going to make sure 14:25.460 --> 14:27.460 they're all working as well. 14:27.460 --> 14:29.460 Nets you now holding under this 14:29.460 --> 14:30.460 fortified position with the 14:30.460 --> 14:31.460 water, but because Brando 14:31.460 --> 14:33.460 wasted one of those grenades, 14:33.460 --> 14:34.460 he's actually not going to have 14:34.460 --> 14:35.460 you to the clear that I 14:35.460 --> 14:38.160 I believe Daphne might be able to do so. 14:38.160 --> 14:40.460 I think he missed the shield with the S-Charge too. 14:41.260 --> 14:43.060 I don't think they cleared it to be honest with you. 14:43.460 --> 14:45.860 Is Kairi gonna win this fight against Jukena on the stairs? 14:45.860 --> 14:47.760 He DOES go deep with the Reaper! 14:48.060 --> 14:49.460 They don't need to take down this shield. 14:49.460 --> 14:51.760 Now it works in favor of the attackers. 14:53.260 --> 14:54.560 So again, Mesa's control. 14:54.860 --> 14:58.160 They're dropping down the old tower with 200, so frontal pressure 14:58.560 --> 15:00.660 and Kairus are rotated over as well with the defusers. 15:00.660 --> 15:02.860 I used it in Tessamite Ying X with the defuser rather. 15:02.860 --> 15:07.060 So three people working together on the front still backs have an unhoor store 15:07.060 --> 15:13.820 But I was right never clipped with the bloodless shield despite both the grenade and two separate as charges were thrown at the problem 15:13.820 --> 15:18.380 But I do believe that it cleared the denarii laser so they can't get in from the back side 15:18.380 --> 15:20.380 They just can't take the gun fly that easily 15:20.380 --> 15:26.420 It's very hard now to clear Neptune especially because he's the water but Kairos comes in for the back stab and with the reaper 15:26.420 --> 15:32.580 He reeks havoc on the chiefs defense just player and real as the former EP players up against their role team player now 15:32.580 --> 15:35.980 Now the last one standing, Reles finds one before he's traded back. 15:35.980 --> 15:38.480 No more candellas as the Yings gone down. 15:38.480 --> 15:40.500 No much utile as well. 15:40.500 --> 15:43.180 For EP, we do kills for player. 15:43.180 --> 15:45.560 It's now Brendo and Jigsaw. 15:45.560 --> 15:47.080 He has to find every one of them. 15:47.080 --> 15:49.260 Brendo goes down 1v1 against Jigsaw. 15:49.260 --> 15:52.420 The player who replaced him on this team. 15:52.420 --> 15:53.740 I'm not sure he has to read. 15:53.740 --> 15:56.660 He walks straight into his open arms. 15:56.660 --> 16:01.140 And Jigsaw conjures up a match point for Enterprise. 16:01.140 --> 16:03.900 Oh, you saw the turnoff all different player. 16:03.900 --> 16:07.700 He had a good readie thought he was going to be on that 90 corner, jiggling to the left 16:07.700 --> 16:11.300 of the right hand side, either swinging the hallway or swinging the rotate. 16:11.300 --> 16:16.660 But the thing is, Brendo already rotated earlier to that bomb side door when his teammate 16:16.660 --> 16:17.900 started dying. 16:17.900 --> 16:22.380 So player was so confident he had full information because he didn't hear any footsteps, but 16:22.380 --> 16:27.260 Brendo was just one step ahead and had already gone close. 16:27.260 --> 16:28.660 What a nice try though. 16:28.660 --> 16:32.020 And honestly watching that back, you know that was giving me a flashback to it 16:33.060 --> 16:35.220 What do you know James to do me? 16:35.220 --> 16:43.300 Oh, yeah, the same kind of 1v3 or 1v4 the same bombsite same kind of performance where you're kind of weaving back and forth 16:45.260 --> 16:47.820 I think I'm not sure you like to play the yellow bar 16:49.140 --> 16:54.940 Kill number three. I have shots. I think June was playing without a corner one of those clips 16:54.940 --> 17:02.620 but I mean similar high ratifier gun players kicking himself. He was so damn close and he was getting taunted in the old chat as well by 17:02.620 --> 17:08.140 Tuhan and Tik Tok. You so close. I bet you thought that was possible and you could see on on players face 17:08.140 --> 17:13.100 he thought it was possible. That would have been his very own June moment to push it to an even 17:13.660 --> 17:20.140 5-5 breakpoint scoreline, but now Enterprise have two championship points and major spot on the line. 17:20.140 --> 17:27.740 There was such a confident, inspiring push as well, that was Kyro with the candelas in 17:27.740 --> 17:32.820 the main stairs pushing up, getting a huge kill and everybody rotated over to support it. 17:32.820 --> 17:37.100 I like that attack though, it's saying hey, we can both win from the front or from the 17:37.100 --> 17:42.020 back portion of the site, we'll just go through the area where we are successful. 17:42.020 --> 17:45.740 So had Kyro not gotten the kill on main stairs, they just don't rotate and just attack 17:45.740 --> 17:46.740 horse instead. 17:46.740 --> 17:51.500 It's a very nice way to have two different plans and you can link up wherever you are the strongest 17:52.140 --> 17:55.220 Flourish joints have a spare shielded pocket 17:55.380 --> 17:57.500 So let's say their floor is shown the first one 17:58.100 --> 18:00.860 Poggy seal comes out now they gotta play a bit more 18:01.140 --> 18:05.580 Activating these hallways to make sure that the second shield doesn't fall to another Flourish stone 18:06.020 --> 18:09.940 But we're gonna have a problem here the black beard the glass the Grimm 18:10.820 --> 18:14.060 There's not a ton of ways for cheese to take a fair gun fight 18:14.060 --> 18:17.500 Pick up their Fandom Isle to shine gas, farm traps, smoke. 18:17.500 --> 18:21.740 But how are they gonna deal with the, you know, the glass walking on it in a smoke grenade? 18:21.740 --> 18:24.540 They can try and just throw that into the smoke and try and hold it. 18:24.540 --> 18:28.780 They hit the shots with the fire, the smoke, whatever, but it's not ideal. 18:28.780 --> 18:34.140 Yeah. There's a lot of good setup here for Enterprise on the attacking side, 18:34.140 --> 18:39.580 deadly operators in the lineup. The defense has to look for a way to lash out the fire and the smoke. 18:39.580 --> 18:51.580 Chanka and the smoke tries to get active, reactive. They see Jigsaw, Mikasa on the glass, but that is a great gasp, good regression from player, finds his kill. 18:51.580 --> 19:00.580 But Jigsaw will reply, taking down Relace. Player is still alive, he has been instrumental for the Chiefs today, but Jigsaw is hungry. 19:00.580 --> 19:04.580 It's worth it. They take down the Blackbeard and there's no more smoking nades from the 19:04.580 --> 19:08.060 glass. Now they can fight back on even numbers and even terms and that's the big thing for 19:08.060 --> 19:12.700 me but Babin gets one. Windows swing is good. 3v2 favor in Chiefs. 19:12.700 --> 19:18.540 The player is in such a good position. Jigsaw tried to fake him out. The Jigsaw goes down 19:18.540 --> 19:24.020 to Box. It's just Brando left and he doesn't know where they are. Player again! The 19:24.020 --> 19:28.780 Playmaker for the Chiefs, one round away from pushing this to overtime. 19:30.900 --> 19:35.820 They're fighting back. Like I said, they had no real way to fight back against the Blackbeard and the Glass, 19:35.820 --> 19:39.860 but then Blackbeard walks through the Bumside Hallway, gets meleeed and gets shot, 19:39.860 --> 19:44.420 and then the Toxic Babe was perfect to stop the Glass from following up on the push. 19:44.940 --> 19:48.060 That was like a one and done. If they don't hit the Toxic Babe, 19:48.060 --> 19:51.260 or if Blackbeard doesn't get meleeed and killed, that's a different round, 19:51.260 --> 19:55.220 because now that information, they can work off the smoke grenades and it should just be over. 19:56.140 --> 19:59.140 But geez, you know, they're in this position of we cannot make a mistake, 19:59.140 --> 20:02.260 and if we do, we have to make it play elsewhere to make up for it. 20:02.580 --> 20:06.180 But they go to tertiary bumps, they go back downstairs that they were successful earlier. 20:06.540 --> 20:09.780 Like on paper, this is a really good spot to be in. 20:10.020 --> 20:14.500 On most other maps, when you win two defense rounds and you go to a third tertiary site, 20:15.180 --> 20:16.460 you're kind of screwed. 20:16.460 --> 20:19.140 Like that's it, like you have such a low chance of winning, 20:19.140 --> 20:22.460 But this might actually be statistically on paper for this match. 20:22.460 --> 20:25.860 They're a highest win rate bomb site for both these three teams and defense. 20:28.540 --> 20:31.060 That's scary how close these rounds gets. 20:31.060 --> 20:34.580 And you can just see in the way that player is moving, 20:34.580 --> 20:39.060 the way he's unafraid to get re-aggressive is so far up today, man. 20:39.060 --> 20:44.380 After almost getting that 1v4, he is so determined not to lose. 20:44.380 --> 20:45.620 I mean, for goodness' sake, 20:45.620 --> 20:48.260 Human Relay has got kicked from this team. 20:48.260 --> 20:50.460 They dropped Fisho-Gar, well, Fisho-Gar left 20:50.460 --> 20:52.260 because he knew he wanted to retire, right? 20:52.260 --> 20:53.500 That was an obvious choice. 20:53.500 --> 20:54.820 But after Fisho retired, 20:54.820 --> 20:56.620 E.P. had some tough decisions to make. 20:56.620 --> 20:58.980 Do they keep the players that had been with them 20:58.980 --> 21:01.060 for a whole year of international events 21:01.060 --> 21:02.380 or do they try something new? 21:02.380 --> 21:04.820 But when both Jigsaw and Brenda become available, 21:04.820 --> 21:06.900 the temptation is to pick them both up. 21:06.900 --> 21:08.900 And that would have meant dropping at least one 21:08.900 --> 21:09.940 of Relay's or player. 21:09.940 --> 21:11.740 And I think once you start dropping players, 21:11.740 --> 21:12.580 you start thinking about, 21:12.580 --> 21:13.660 well, we may as well drop them both 21:13.660 --> 21:15.660 and pick up Kyra was bad. 21:17.260 --> 21:21.260 I can definitely not be in the case now there's a finger on the board to boost up the blitz 21:21.260 --> 21:26.860 and Brenda in this case is well fast entry but it's just gonna be the castle it's not a huge loss 21:26.860 --> 21:30.540 here from the side of cheese but there's a bit of map control with that and with these castle 21:30.540 --> 21:34.780 barricades you're gonna open up second by second oh no act never mind they roll too far beneath 21:34.780 --> 21:39.180 the barricade I was gonna say they're gonna lose so many of their safe areas by the bomb 21:39.180 --> 21:43.660 But with that nade missing that's gonna mean you're gonna be lacking a bit of self-destruction 21:44.140 --> 21:48.160 Maybe get forest in the mix get the ash of rendle towards it on over and help them out 21:48.160 --> 21:50.500 And it's gonna slow down this push for a bit longer 21:57.900 --> 22:02.540 Time to go fishing don't need to go too quickly here don't need to go over aggressive 22:03.060 --> 22:07.980 Util is waning here for EP. They're losing a lot of it out of nades now a 22:07.980 --> 22:11.700 a lot of flashbangs but when players on the water and you certainly don't want to 22:11.700 --> 22:15.180 count on the Metsune, takes a hell of a lot of damage so he falls back deeper 22:15.180 --> 22:21.120 into the site upstairs. Relays is the x-factor for the Chiefs. He can look for 22:21.120 --> 22:25.580 a flank in the lay round but he can't afford to go too early. 22:30.300 --> 22:35.420 This bombsite, you know, being held by a 20 health Lm. Oh no. 22:35.420 --> 22:40.360 She reached the Canada goes down as well. That's the smoke so timer is real 60 seconds have to hit the shots now player 22:40.360 --> 22:42.200 It's your time to step up once more 22:42.200 --> 22:46.740 Cairo on the blitz gets aggressive, but that's a formal miss plays an awkward spot 22:46.740 --> 22:47.740 Oh, no 22:47.740 --> 22:54.240 Taken down the saviour of the Jesus at the mercy of the blitz and now relays on for his flank 22:54.240 --> 22:56.240 Can't even find the shots on Brenda 22:56.700 --> 23:03.100 Eventually puts him down one v five retake to save the hopes and dreams of this brand new Ross of it 23:03.100 --> 23:09.620 Bappin puts it to bed a super team solidified at the apex of OCE 23:10.340 --> 23:15.880 The Kings are on to their crown and Enterprise are back on track to the major 23:18.380 --> 23:21.820 Super team Christy mark more like super team explanation mark 23:21.820 --> 23:26.100 There was a good moment there where she's looked at they could take that title and say you know 23:26.100 --> 23:28.740 You might be a super team, but we're going to win 23:28.740 --> 23:36.920 But then round by round, map by map, enterprise started figuring out their weaknesses because they started to be slow in this grand final 23:37.000 --> 23:45.540 But they didn't lose their confidence. They didn't falter and that's how they find themselves many hours later in this BO3 as the victor 23:46.180 --> 23:48.180 A well-deserved victory 23:48.280 --> 23:54.560 Especially after such a tumultuous start to the series on Bank Chiefs really brought their A game today 23:54.560 --> 24:00.560 It's been a long marathon for them from the man a Manila foe game in the lower final into this grand final 24:00.560 --> 24:03.900 After winning bank though, it felt like enterprise 24:03.900 --> 24:07.460 It let that slip to their fingers and they came back with a vengeance on night haven 24:07.460 --> 24:12.180 That was unreal and then fortress despite all of the delays that we had for me 24:12.180 --> 24:17.700 The decisive round where it really turned in favor of EP was once we came back and we saw play 24:17.700 --> 24:22.580 I'll almost find that one before if he had landed that final kill on the jigsaw changes everything 24:22.580 --> 24:28.180 I think that Enterprise, a boot, the mental is gone, but no, they withstood it. 24:28.180 --> 24:32.220 Jigsaw won it, and too he even got a little bit of smack talk there in the old chat. 24:32.220 --> 24:38.620 A well-deserved return to the top of OCE for, well, Cairo, Jigsaw and Brenda making their 24:38.620 --> 24:43.740 way onto Enterprise, and this super team is looking like hot property here in OCE. 24:43.740 --> 24:45.820 Caution, both through roster changes, right? 24:45.820 --> 24:49.500 It's so hard to figure out, like, you know, meeting expectations of the previous roster, 24:49.500 --> 24:53.180 when you're the super team, you can only get first place. Nothing else is acceptable. 24:53.180 --> 24:57.660 So, they've had to go and get that right now. I mean, whoo! Traced you off your shoulders. 24:57.660 --> 25:00.940 Yeah, very much. And not only roster changes, but also changes to the support staff. 25:00.940 --> 25:03.740 Mag coming in as the coach. We've got him to come in for an interview. 25:04.460 --> 25:10.220 First up, Mag, congratulations on being a champion in OC as a coach. It feels inevitable. 25:10.220 --> 25:13.420 How many years has it been since you were champion in OC back in the day with 25:13.420 --> 25:17.260 Fnatic and Mike Breek as a player? It feels only befitting that now, since joining 25:17.260 --> 25:21.740 EP, you raise another trophy, you're heading to another major. Man, what must that feel like 25:21.740 --> 25:27.420 after such a break from the scene for you? Honestly, the feeling right now, like it's 25:27.420 --> 25:34.060 like the feeling like a little kid again, you know, definitely being a coach. The adrenaline is 25:34.060 --> 25:40.140 actually insane. When, where, you know, we're starting to throw rounds, the adrenaline's up 25:40.140 --> 25:45.340 and you know, like, oh my gosh, but yeah, I've been out of the scene for however many years 25:45.340 --> 25:51.260 now and it's really good to be back. It's working with some very talented boys here. So honestly, 25:51.260 --> 25:56.700 just great to be back and we need to get Ozone and APAC back to the main stage of Invitational. 25:56.700 --> 25:59.820 Ever since I left, no one has made the main stage of Invitational. 26:02.140 --> 26:07.100 That's right. You guys did it like no other in Ozone. Talk me through the process of what 26:07.100 --> 26:11.740 your job actually is right now. Obviously, as fans of the game, we see the coaches and the 26:11.740 --> 26:16.460 player camps and we see you talking but what are you actually contributing to with the boys because 26:16.460 --> 26:21.500 you left the scene as a player for a while the strategy has changed the meta has changed are you 26:21.500 --> 26:26.460 doing more like fundamental stuff while they're catching you up to speed or are you already like 26:26.460 --> 26:30.460 helping them out with strategy and counter prepping like what's your role for these guys 26:31.980 --> 26:37.580 yes so my role is you know managing players and personalities because there are a lot of 26:37.580 --> 26:43.820 personalities on the team. It's also, you know, making strats when we need to, doing the hard dirty 26:43.820 --> 26:48.540 work of looking at other teams, writing up, you know, counter-strats possible weaknesses that we 26:48.540 --> 26:54.540 should ban. I'm very, very grateful to have someone like Kyra on the team who is a huge 26:54.540 --> 26:59.100 Siege brain. He has one of the best, you know, brains in Siege. And, you know, he's a super 26:59.100 --> 27:03.420 hard worker, so I work with him closely a lot. It's also, you know, making sure in the 27:03.420 --> 27:07.660 timeouts. So just before on the timeouts I'm addressing the fact that we should go for like a 27:07.660 --> 27:11.740 kitchen execute or just a first floor execute on our kitchen on that last round instead of you 27:11.740 --> 27:18.220 know pushing up top like we usually do. And just at the moment because I'm only a one man show for 27:18.220 --> 27:23.260 head coach I'm you know doing a lot of things but I'm also learning a lot from the players. 27:23.260 --> 27:26.620 Obviously Fortress I don't have as much experience on Fortress as the other players so 27:26.620 --> 27:30.620 they're always teaching me things but it's a great back and forth and it's just a really good 27:30.620 --> 27:34.980 good environment we've created for, you know, the team to build and eventually become one 27:34.980 --> 27:36.700 of the best teams in the world. 27:36.700 --> 27:42.060 Mag, you mentioned that no team from OCE has made it to the main stage at Six Invitational 27:42.060 --> 27:46.420 since your days with Fnatic. Another star I've got, and I've been thinking a lot about 27:46.420 --> 27:51.780 since EP made some roster changes this year, is no Oceanic team has actually won a game 27:51.780 --> 27:58.100 against a non-APAC team without FishoGuy since you guys did with Fnatic. So FishoGuy 27:58.100 --> 28:02.660 retiring and surely that would have had massive ripple effects on the rest of the team because 28:02.660 --> 28:06.580 he was the brains of the operation because he was that primary support player you mentioned 28:06.580 --> 28:11.060 Kyra he's brought on what does that look like when you get players like obviously Tuhan and Bap and 28:11.060 --> 28:14.980 staying on the roster but then you get Brenda when Jigsaw some of the most talented mechanical 28:14.980 --> 28:18.980 players in the game how does that work with the roles when you don't have that traditional 28:18.980 --> 28:26.580 super support player like Fischer? So yeah you'd say like Fischer guy is it you know the 28:26.580 --> 28:31.100 traditional support player although he did play all the shields so I'm really 28:31.100 --> 28:35.460 grateful that Cairo has picked up the shields he's been absolutely running 28:35.460 --> 28:40.540 super well on the shield so to be honest we just now have a shield player that 28:40.540 --> 28:46.340 can no offense to Fischer obviously that can frag out okay obviously Fischer guy 28:46.340 --> 28:51.060 has a really good you know calm sort of personality which I think is really 28:51.060 --> 28:58.420 needed for the current team. However, I think we want to not just do the same thing as the 28:58.420 --> 29:03.500 old EP. We want to bring some new strategies and a new play style with the current plays 29:03.500 --> 29:07.100 that we have. We want to do the best of what we have, and that's being aggressive, and 29:07.100 --> 29:10.740 that's, you know, playing aggressively on shields and actually bragging on the shields. 29:10.740 --> 29:16.860 Now we, uh, I'm sorry, please. I only get between you two. You guys are the only 29:16.860 --> 29:21.500 between it I know your question can't let me down a train of thought here during 29:21.500 --> 29:24.940 during the first map rather than bang we speak a lot about you guys is aggressive 29:24.940 --> 29:29.340 nature and place not how you perform I feel like sometimes it's attempted that 29:29.340 --> 29:33.480 should be a weakness right because it's about ego challenging fighting center 29:33.480 --> 29:38.820 corn flipping 50-50 gunfights back in our day mag that was seen as like you 29:38.820 --> 29:42.260 gotta play smart together but yeah I want to give you guys praise and say 29:42.260 --> 29:46.140 throughout map 2 and map 3 it seemed it was like less of less of the 50-50 29:46.140 --> 29:48.980 gone fights and they're a bit more of that team synergy. 29:48.980 --> 29:50.340 Yep. 29:50.340 --> 29:51.700 I definitely agree with you. 29:51.700 --> 29:54.420 We shouldn't retake in the 50-50s all the time, 29:54.420 --> 29:57.580 but what we try and make sure to do in this team 29:57.580 --> 30:00.700 is that if we are making a play, then we're doing it together. 30:00.700 --> 30:02.860 As long as there's someone else there, we just do the play. 30:02.860 --> 30:05.940 Obviously, there are times where you have to go for the 50-50 30:05.940 --> 30:09.820 to kill that person in the enemy player in a power position 30:09.820 --> 30:11.300 to open up the round. 30:11.300 --> 30:15.860 But this team is really working at being aggressive, but together. 30:15.860 --> 30:17.720 So that's just the main focus for us. 30:19.500 --> 30:21.380 It's been a while since you've had the chance 30:21.380 --> 30:24.220 to address the Oast community as a champion, Meg. 30:24.220 --> 30:25.580 So I'd just love to give you the floor 30:25.580 --> 30:28.780 and say anything you wanna say to fans watching EP 30:28.780 --> 30:31.220 and this brand new team as you head to the Major. 30:32.820 --> 30:35.500 This is, you know, a roster that we're building 30:35.500 --> 30:38.860 to not just qualify for the international events, 30:38.860 --> 30:41.300 but to go deep at them like the previous fanatic. 30:41.300 --> 30:43.820 So this is, I mean, obviously, 30:43.820 --> 30:50.020 the best roster has to offer. We obviously had a slow start on bank today, but the mentality 30:50.020 --> 30:54.940 that we showed, the experience we have on the team, the raw talent we have on the team, 30:54.940 --> 30:59.020 you know, keep supporting us and will definitely, you know, all throughout the international 30:59.020 --> 31:04.020 events. So, you know, it's great to be back. Thanks for your time, Mag, and congratulations 31:04.020 --> 31:09.260 again on once again becoming a champion here at OZ. Good luck at the major. Thanks 31:09.260 --> 31:16.260 guys. It is just so funny. I 31:16.260 --> 31:18.260 mean, you roll back the clock 31:18.260 --> 31:20.260 and it was six years ago that 31:20.260 --> 31:22.260 the three of us were in the same 31:22.260 --> 31:24.260 room in Montreal. You guys on 31:24.260 --> 31:26.260 opposite sides of the competing 31:26.260 --> 31:27.260 the competitors deaths and me 31:27.260 --> 31:29.260 standing a few meters away on 31:29.260 --> 31:30.260 the analyst desk. How times 31:30.260 --> 31:32.260 have changed. We're all in 31:32.260 --> 31:34.260 different places now. Of 31:34.260 --> 31:35.260 course, Mag is a great asset 31:35.260 --> 31:37.260 to rejoin the host community 31:37.260 --> 31:38.260 at the very top level, but 31:38.260 --> 31:40.260 to be honest, there wasn't 31:40.260 --> 31:42.260 one standout player for EP as 31:42.260 --> 31:43.260 much as there was for cheese. 31:43.260 --> 31:44.260 You know if they had one, it 31:44.260 --> 31:46.260 would have definitely been 31:46.260 --> 31:48.260 player with his highlight 31:48.260 --> 31:51.260 moments, but Suhan has been 31:51.260 --> 31:53.260 unreal consistently. Fragging 31:53.260 --> 31:54.260 and now he's one of the most 31:54.260 --> 31:56.260 experienced members of this 31:56.260 --> 31:58.260 roster. 31:58.260 --> 31:59.260 Yeah, it's crazy to say, right 31:59.260 --> 32:01.260 because to one is still like a 32:01.260 --> 32:02.260 fairly new player in my brain, 32:02.260 --> 32:03.260 especially me being new to 32:03.260 --> 32:05.260 April 1th, was Kenya, but 32:05.260 --> 32:07.260 he's been like rock solid 32:07.260 --> 32:12.120 Rock solid for whatever roster iteration he's been on. He's always able to frag it out and play well 32:12.120 --> 32:17.200 It's also very selfless. He doesn't just get all the resources and we'll just go and do his own thing 32:17.200 --> 32:23.200 It's much about helping other people. Yeah, very much so let's reflect upon how Ose has panned out for kickoff 32:23.200 --> 32:26.480 We of course played out a double elimination bracket starting with eight teams 32:26.480 --> 32:29.120 And we end up with just one that goes to the major 32:29.640 --> 32:33.780 Coming into this stage. Thank you a lot of the people in this region looked at 32:33.780 --> 32:40.340 Enterprise Chiefs Bobby boys to be the top three teams both Chiefs and Bobby boys ended up in an elimination game 32:40.460 --> 32:46.340 First up the lower bracket and then Chiefs after beating them ran the toilet all the way to that grand final 32:46.340 --> 32:49.160 What an incredible run from this brand-new team. I 32:49.900 --> 32:55.180 Mean lower bracket is brutal man. I mean look at this 2 1 2 0 2 0 2 0 32:55.380 --> 33:01.180 However, I guess a chacademy and rock a la foe were talking like four maps of 33:01.180 --> 33:03.180 the game. It's a game that 33:03.180 --> 33:05.180 has been around for a long 33:05.180 --> 33:07.180 time. It's a game that has 33:07.180 --> 33:09.180 been brutal overtime and to 33:09.180 --> 33:10.180 the wire and rounds that they 33:10.180 --> 33:12.180 lost. They should have 33:12.180 --> 33:13.180 etc. The fact that she's made 33:13.180 --> 33:15.180 it all the way to the grand 33:15.180 --> 33:16.180 final took a map off E. P. 33:16.180 --> 33:17.180 and when closing the third as 33:17.180 --> 33:19.180 well, it cannot be 33:19.180 --> 33:20.180 unestated. Enterprise might 33:20.180 --> 33:21.180 be the best OSS to offer 33:21.180 --> 33:22.180 like Magnus said, but she 33:22.180 --> 33:24.180 is not far behind. Yeah 33:24.180 --> 33:25.180 very much. So of course 33:25.180 --> 33:27.180 within a pack. We now have 33:27.180 --> 33:28.180 our four qualified teams 33:28.180 --> 33:30.180 through the Salt Lake City. 33:30.180 --> 33:35.340 surprise from OCE. How do you feel now that we see all of the major qualified teams across 33:35.340 --> 33:39.900 the four regions excluding C&L, how do you think that these A-PAC teams will fair-pang you? 33:39.900 --> 33:44.700 I mean, this is obviously very bracket dependent. I certainly think that your teams like Wable 33:44.700 --> 33:49.300 or CAG on the prime day are going to have a really good chance. I think they start 33:49.300 --> 33:53.020 enterprise going to rank a little bit lower, which I also think makes sense given the 33:53.020 --> 33:58.580 less experience, new roster iterations, etc. But again, if you come up against 33:58.580 --> 34:03.540 like certain match by I think twisted minds and APL might actually be a pretty good mix-up into the playstyle 34:03.540 --> 34:08.460 So how that's gonna fair, but if you go up against your fury at your face your G2 34:08.460 --> 34:10.460 I just don't know what it takes to 34:12.020 --> 34:18.660 Never know man. I mean even if I know firebellion from North America. They have lost a lot of games possibly they lost to D 34:18.660 --> 34:23.660 Plus who didn't even qualify through APL because CG got the better on their own struggles very much 34:23.660 --> 34:30.960 So, of course, all of our teams that have played in the APL have been rejuvenated in 2026 after the roster may need to kick off this year. 34:30.960 --> 34:33.500 But that actually closes out the APL for us. 34:33.500 --> 34:37.360 Penga, it's been such a pleasure working on the APL with you this stage. 34:37.360 --> 34:39.160 But that's all we have time for tonight. 34:39.160 --> 34:41.660 So, everyone watching, thank you so much for watching the APL. 34:41.660 --> 34:44.160 And we'll see you at Salt Lake City Major. 34:46.360 --> 34:47.560 At 20 health, Ella. 34:47.560 --> 34:48.160 Oh, no. 34:48.160 --> 34:49.460 You reached the Kinnagostan as well. 34:49.460 --> 34:50.160 That's the smoke. 34:50.160 --> 34:54.800 the timer is real 60 seconds have to hit the shot style player make sure time to step up once more 34:55.360 --> 34:59.680 Caro on the blitz gets aggressive but that's the forward miss plays in an awkward spot 35:00.240 --> 35:06.240 and take it down the saver of the jesus at the mercy of the blitz and now relays 35:06.240 --> 35:12.640 on for his flank can't even find the shots on brendo eventually puts him down one d5 retake 35:12.640 --> 35:17.360 to save the hopes and dreams of this brand new roster that bappet puts into bed 35:17.360 --> 35:23.360 a super team solidified at the apex of OCE. 35:23.360 --> 35:29.360 The Kings hold on to their crown and Enterprise are back on track to the Major.
